Young Soul Rebel

Not a Dexys Midnight Runners blog, although that would be cool too.

Just another dude obsessed with politics, clothes, and rock n' roll...

Anti-oppression, pro-shoes.

Coming back from the dead to share something with BB. 

That is all. Carry on. 

jsmooth995:

Thinking again of how Gil’s passing affected me, as I look at the awful, awful news all around today. Half of my timeline is caught up in scolding other people for caring more about this story than that story, or caring more about that story than this story. It really seems like this grief-scolding/grief-shaming has itself become a kind of coping mechanism for a lot of us (myself included)..

Apparently in Texas it’s OK for the state to execute 471 people since 1982, but it’s not OK for them to curse about it. 

At least they stopped publishing their final meals…

The World according to The State:
Profane: certain colloquial words relating to sex and genitalia.
Not profane: killing a wrongfully convicted human being.

I hate that argument about slavery…

notesonascandal:

“Well, you know African[s] enslaved their own people and sold them to the whites.”

Yes, I do know that. I ALSO know that slavery in Africa was an act of war, not an act of Capitalism like it was in America. And I also know that when Africans enslaved other Africans, they absorbed them into their community. They didn’t dehumanize them and abuse them and work them damn near to death with no light at the end of the tunnel like what was done in America. 

Two different systems of slavery. Please don’t ever say that to me. The argument is stale, hackneyed and easily cleared up by a little research.

[TRIGGER WARNING for the t-slur]

I just don’t feel that it’s all that sexy. It’s weird. And uncomfortable. I look at photos of myself, and I look like such a tranny! It’s amazing!

I look like Grace Jones, androgynous, robo, future fashion queen. It’s not what is sexy. It’s graphic and it’s art.

I don’t really think anybody’s d*** is hard, looking at that. I think they’re just confused and maybe a little scared.

lady gaga i hate you so fucking much (via geromy)

Oh my god this is so incredibly fucked up

Please for the love of god tell me this is fake and that she’s not actually stupid enough to think that this is an okay thing to say

(via joshishollywood)

Yep, she actually said that. Source.

(via ciscentrismsucks)

So. Much. Fucking. Hate.

This is the self-appointed savior of the queers? I still like some of her early songs, and I’m not going to stop listening to them (though I have made a decision not to listen to any of her newer music, including her new album), but I just cannot stand her as a person. Really, really cannot.

(via nowisgreater)

lol oh no are the queers finally catching on? Congratulations, you guys.

a. I had to b. if my contribution actually pisses you off then you don’t listen to enough propagandhi

(via mondosmusicbox)

But the trend will die out with any luck!

This quote is disgusting, but I just needed Mondo’s commentary on my blog… Ya-ho. Ya-hah-ah-ah-uh-oh.

(via lostgrrrls)

Raged at the quote, laughed heartily at Mondo’s contribution.

(via mcflynnthm)

Yeah this quote is from 2009…I used to enjoy her music then I realized she was a trans-appropriating fuckface

(via sammijawsome)

In case any of my new followers wonder why they never see anything by Lady Gaga on here, now you know.

(via lucypaw)

^^All of this commentary FTW.

You have asked me what I would do and what I would not do. I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can, and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use … silence, exile, and cunning.
— Stephen Dedalus, as portrayed by James Joyce in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
